A quick update. If you haven't heard Amazon has added a couple of follow up products to the Echo Alexa. One is the Dot which I just received. First impressions are great! Dot is basically Echo Alexa without a speaker. The Dot relies on a bluetooth or other speaker you already possess. It cuts down on the price, is actually quite small but still has all the features of the original Echo. Set up was super easy.The excitment for me is Amazon Tap. It is a portable wireless Echo Alexa you can take anywhere that has wifi. This opens up a lot of potential for robotics applications. I am hopefully going to dig into this one a bit more in the near future. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
